Midnight Whispers

Sweet slumber is
Only a dream for
Which I long,
For it is now in
These midnight blue hours
The the truth and lies
Come and whisper in my ear,
Often I'm as lonely
As the pale moon,
A;m sad and grieving
Those I've lost,
Memories haunt the shadows,
What-ifs and whys
Can number more than
The stars in the sky,
Finally these hours pass,
And I slip into
A tortured sleep
